Peacock

Validation

Aching to be seen and recognized

Essence

There's a spot inside you aching to be seen, so you keep performing — refreshing after every post to check who came. The validation hit feels great, then five minutes later you're hollow again.

Guidance

First admit wanting to be seen isn't shameful — it's a human need, not a defect. Try separating 'being seen' from 'being approved.' The first, tell a few trusted people; the second has to start from your own hand.

Recognition

Have you recently posted something, checked the likes three times within five minutes, then turned around and blamed yourself for being like that?

Shadow

Peacock too long = your sense of being alive turns into a neon sign that needs someone else to switch it on — on days with no likes, even the question of whether you had a good day goes unanswered.
